Château Margaux

You can find Château Margaux vintage red wines at Arden Fine Wines in London.

The region called Margaux was named “La Mothe de Margaux” (the Margaux mound) from the XII century.

The old name didn’t happen by chance.

In a flat region like the Médoc, the slightest “mound” easily stood out.

This is because the greatest wines always emerge from sloping land that ensures good drainage.

At the end of the XVII century, Château Margaux occupied 265 hectares.

A third of the estate planted vines, which remains the case today.

Then in 1705, the London Gazette advertised the first auction of 230 barrels of “Margose”.

Later, the 1771 vintage became the first “claret” to appear in a Christie’s catalogue.

In 1896, Count Pillet-Will, Margaux’s owner, employed Pierre Moreau to manage the property.

Subsequently, Pierre Moreau’s most important innovation involved bottling the wine at the château, which he adopted in 1924.

This guaranteed authenticity for the buyers.

In 1950, the Ginestet family acquired the whole property.

In 1977, André Mentzelopoulos bought the property.

The Mentzelopoulos family continues to own Margaux.
